Video Description

Overview

This Learning Path consists of CCNA Data Center DCICN 200-150 LiveLessons and CCNA Data Center DCICT 200-155 LiveLessons.

Prerequisites

The video course assumes that the learner has the skills to navigate the user interface of a PC running any of the Microsoft OS’s, and that the reader has completed typical high school-level math courses (mainly that the reader has been exposed to binary math). The course also assumes that the reader has used PCs connected to either a home network or a network inside a school or company, but that the reader might not understand anything about the network to which the PC was connected. It is also assumed that the reader knows how to use typical Internet applications, primarily web browsers, and email clients.

Description
